I'd like to be more verbose, but in a nutshell, the situation is this:
On boot, my system seems to think it's a PPC 750/250MHz. In reality, and
as reported by Apple System Profiler under MacOS, it is only 233MHz.

I have now simplified the installation instruction of pmud.
The enclosed /etc/init.d/pmud is required in place of the
original. It all seems to work, except that it does not want
to be triggered at start-up. Permissions are ok.
Ideas are welcome. We should have our own package for it...

My goodness, it does work!
The funny thing is, my user-cal.vcf was generated by gnomecal on Debian i386,
where it opens and closes just fine. Is gnomecal file-incompatible between i386
and PPC??? That'

Hi,
are you all at the beach today? Anyway...
I have encountered the need for /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions when
